POE 3.25 (Endgame) Build Guide | 100+ Mil DPS Ice Crash Juggernaut

Notes ----------------- - I league started with this build and scaled it up over time. Nothing is absolutely essential, but there are a few pieces that are worth aiming for as you go. - Use Sand stance while mapping (extra Area of Effect is huge) - Use Blood stance for bosses and chonky rares (30% more damage) - Keep war cries up to boost damage with overexertion, and Ice Crash to clear screens. Enduring Cry is great, make sure to weave it in. - If you do NOT have the mana reservation efficiency to sustain auto-exerting 3 war cries, then just drop Rallying Cry. We don't need it, it just juices Overexertion DPS. - Similarly, if you don't have enough sockets, ditch Infernal Cry. This is the same concept - we do not really care about the gem itself, just using it for tiny bit of ignite damage & Overexertion DPS. - As we auto-exert 3 war cries, you only need to refresh Battlemage's Cry and Infernal Cry, which each exert 6 -7 attacks! So you do not need to use these often. - You can take the War Cry mastery 'War cries cannot exert travel skills' while levelling. If you can get this on a piece of gear (rings/belt) later on, even better - this frees up the passive point for a better mastery. Gems ----------------- - Ice Crash + Melee Physical Damage + Elemental Damage with Attacks + Fist of War + Overexertion + Pulverise - Intimidating Cry + Seismic Cry + Rallying Cry + Autoexertion - Enduring Cry - Cast When Damage Taken + Molten Shell + Blood Rage - Leap Slam + Faster Attacks - Hatred - Precision + Arrogance - Blood and Sand - Battlemage's Cry + Frostbite + Urgent Orders + Infernal Cry - NOTE: These gems require Whispers of Doom annointed on your amulet first, in order to apply two curses (the other being Assassin's Mark from the Oskarm unique gloves) Ascendancies ----------------- - LEVELLING: Undeniable / Unflinching / Unrelenting / Unyielding - This gets you accuracy (huge DPS increase), then lots of defences, then more DPS - ENDGAME: Unstoppable / Unbreakable / Unflinching / Unyielding - Only swap Undeniable out when you can guarantee 100% hit chance without it. - Only take Unstoppable if you are NOT using Kaom's Roots. If you do use Kaom's Roots, take Unrelenting for more defences. Gear ----------------- - Fleshripper axe with as much Phys dps as possible (for the implicit 50% crit chance) - Rare gear with as much armour, life and resists as possible. Later on get eldritch implicits for boosting damage and survivability - Endgame: Jewels with as MUCH crit multiplier as possible. Best case 4 mods with crit multi, but very expensive. I don't have any of these yet. Unique Gear ----------------- - Echoes of Creation - Helmet that gives a STAGGERING amount of damage to the build. Can add 40-70% damage. - Keep in mind you will hurt yourself when you attack, so make sure you are going to hit something when you Ice Crash. - Oskarm Nubuck Gloves - Our way of getting a nice amount of crit and accuracy, and applying assassin's mark to targets that need it (any rare or unique enemies) - Pandemonius - Likely your first big purchase of the build, offers a great defensive layer in blinding and chilling enemies on hit, and slowing their action speed by 30%. ALWAYS. - Really huge amulet, but any rare with a cheap annointment while gearing up does the job - Kaoms Roots (LEVELLING) - Great first budget unique while levelling, some still use this right through to endgame IF not using dual curse set up. Highly recommend dropping them eventually for two curses. - If you do go with these, get the Corruption for +1 endurance charges. You can also swap the 'Unstoppable' ascendancy for something else. - Bottled Faith - Very expensive unique flask that replaces your Diamond Flask in endgame. Huge damage buff, use an enkindling orb to give it increased effect. Cluster Jewels ----------------- - Large Cluster Jewel #1 - Brutal Infamy + Fuel the Fight + Martial Prowess - Gives you Mana leech, lots of 2H attack damage and attack speed. - Large Cluster Jewel #2 - Blanketed Snow + Corrosive Elements + (Anything else at the BACK slot, you do not take this) - Gives you Cold Exposure and more cold penetration. - Medium Cluster Jewel - Lead By Example + Mob Mentality - Gives you permanent onslaught and permanent uptime on all endurance/power/frenzy charges. - Small Cluster Jewel - Spiteful Presence - Gives you a lot of reserved mana back to use in AutoExerting. Flasks ----------------- - Life Flask with instant recovery for dicey situations - Diamond Flask for crit chance - Taste of Hate for more cold DPS - The Wise Oak with uncapped cold resist highest for more DPS and penetration - Lion's Roar for defences
